History

It was created in 2005 by editor Eloyr Pacheco, who after a few years left the site, transferring the position of editor-in-chief to cartoonist Marcio Baraldi, who kept the site in operation until 29 May 2011, having published a text by farewell in which he informed that the site would remain online, even without updates, due to the six years of content focused on Brazilian comics.[2] [3] [4]

Awards

In 2006, the Bigorna website won the Jayme Cortez Trophy, an award intended to reward great contributions to Brazilian comics.[5] [6] In 2009 and 2010, it won the Prêmio DB Artes for Best Fanzine Site.[7] [8]

In addition to interviews, reports and reviews of national comics, the Bigorna website was also responsible for the Troféu Bigorna, held from 2008 to 2010. The award was organized by Marcio Baraldi, Eloyr Pacheco, Humberto Yashima and Matheus Moura. The trophy design, which featured the design of an "Anvil Man" (Bigorna means "anvil" in Portuguese), was developed by Baraldi (the character has been used as the website's "mascot" since then). The main feature of Troféu Bigorna was its unique and exclusive focus on Brazilian artists.[9]
